HEART THROB® CHINESE DOGWOOD


The Heart Throb® Chinese Dogwood is a unique flowering dogwood that has a compact, rounded habit with ovate, pointed, blue-green leaves that turn deep red-burgundy in fall. In spring, large dark rose-pink flower bracts unfurl and last for one to two months - longer than other varieties. Raspberry-like fruits appear in late summer/fall that attract all kinds of wildlife. Exfoliating bark on mature trees add winter interest.

Planting Tips

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade; this species is more sun-tolerant than other dogwoods. Ensure soil is well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic. When planting, keep the root flare visible at the soil surface; never bury the trunk. Water deeply and consistently during the first two growing seasons. Pruning is rarely necessary; only remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring.
